In that occasion he presented an excellent paper (Computational Explorations of Compatibility and Innovation) in the conference, which draw my attention because of the interesting point of view and the excellent contribution to the conference topic, Trends in Computer Aided Innovation regarding the degree to which a novel idea shares attributes or properties with dominant or competing ideas. Later we continued in contact for collaborating in Computer Aided Innovation topics, especially on the themes of how does complexity and compatibility interact in determining success or failure of new products, and how can opportunities for innovation be found based on the compatibility of existing solutions. Ricardo focuses on studying the match between individual attributes and actions within the appropriate context in new product development and on the relevant macro processes that facilitate diffusion, adoption and advantageous consequences of innovation. This way he looks to contribute how to understand how social groups’ members interact in order to generate and evaluate new ideas. He leads his activities exceeding always expected results. It’s a common to receive excellent references of him from different contacts in the field, mostly colleagues and former students.
